Dedicated to MT you know who you are...
I sit
At a table
All by myself

No one is kind to me
No one is friendly to me
No one knows me

No one shares jokes with me
and talks to me
No one to snort and cackle with
At each other’s stupid jokes.

Then I see her
The girl who hates me
A short little child

Always hurting me
She struts up to me
And steals my happiness

Get you fat butt off my chair
She says as the other girl giggle
I stare at her

What cant you talk?
Are you a mule?
She asks me

I ask her
Don't you mean mute?

She stares at me
You’re not a flipping TV are you?

I struggle to contain my laughter
She notices

She grabs my desk.
With my books and things
On it
Throws my belongings
halfway across the room
And sits on my desk
I call to the teacher
He doesn’t even look up

Too bad
So sad
She chants
While the others giggle

I stand
Look around
Everyone
Stares up at me
I look at the teacher
Ignoring what she has just done

Does no one care?
I have reached my limit
I run out of the classroom
Down the hall
Into the bathroom
And lock myself in a cubicle
And cry

‘Stupid girl’ I say to myself
‘You’ve made them worry’
So after five minutes
I stand
And walk to my classroom
The lesson is still on as if I haven’t left

I gather my things,
Pack up my bag.
Then leave
Walking past the offices
And out through the door

Does no one care?

I catch a train
Going nowhere in particular
Finally the last stop comes
I get up and walk out

And hop on another train
And get off
At that trains
Final stop

I start to cry
No one care five ticket inspectors have passed
And none have checked my ticket.

So I catch a train
Home

I open the door
Mom is home
She doesn’t even look up

I run to the bathroom
Wishing that a big hole
Would suck me
Into nothingness

I cry and
Fall asleep
On the cold bathroom tiles
In my pool
Of tears
Completely
Forgotten

I wake up
Shivering
Freezing
I open my eyes
Hoping to be in my bed
But
To my disappointment
I was in the bathroom
In a pool
Of my own
Tears
Shed that afternoon

I get up and look at myself
My thick wavy brunette hair is everywhere
I grab the scissors
And snip
Snip
Snip
Snip
I cut it into uneven daggers
I walk out to my mother making dinner

She says it will be ready
In two seconds
She dishes up the food

I eat with my family
They ask me questions
I shove food in my mouth to stop
Me from crying

Does no one care?

The next day at school
I walk in the school gates
And it started to hail
Not ice,
But things you would find in a backpack
Pencils, fruit, lipsticks, nail polish, rubbers ect.

I ran out as the teachers looked
I caught the bus
Then the train
Then another bus

I ended up in the wrong end of town
Where I met her
A girl who I recognised
From my school

Hi
She said

We talked
All day
And
All night

When dawn broke
She said
Stick with me
And you shall never get picked on

So we went to school
Where she walked to the principal
And told him everything
They expelled most people
Who threw stuff at me
And suspended all the rest

We sat next to each other in every class
And she walked me home
Because she lived down the street from me.

Finally someone cared!

Raven black hair
Bright green eyes
And a beautiful personality

She has kept all her promises
I never feel alone
I am happy
And I am not getting picked on.

But happiness can be crushed
Simply by a flick of a hand
Like the bruising of a rose.
So I shall tiptoe like I am walking on thin ice
So not to crack our friendship

I am so impressed Madelyn, by your words. I was beginning to think that this was a pouting of feelings but you came across so mature. I enjoyed it, whether true or not.

It was so pretty... and i'm really happy 4 you! It's good you finally found someone who cares, and MT sounds like a really good person. but what i wud do is try to stand on my own 2 feet... i'm not trying 2 b mean, but what would happen if MT n u got in a fight or somethin n u guys weren't friends nymore? But believe me, i kno how hard it is 2 learn 2 stand on ur own, i hav issues with that 2 so i kno how hard it is 2 b strong on ur own.... but jus give it a good try, n don't let them c how hurt u r, that jus makes em pick on u more...

Always,
   Kai (a.k.a. precious pearls)
